Leading to War

Check out this video link for a documentary on how the Bush administration constructed a mechanism to propel the nation to war, how President Bush and his administration skillfully manipulated language and facts, how the Bush administration misrepresented and distorted intelligence in making the case for war and the explanation of the misleading 'mythic reality' created by the Bush administration to persuade the public to support a war against Iraq.

Zeitgeist

"Zeitgeist, the Movie is a 2007 documentary film, produced by Peter Joseph about the Jesus myth hypothesis, the attacks of 9/11 and the Federal Reserve Bank as well as a number of conspiracy theories related to those three main topics."

Vice Presidential Debate

The debate that everyone seems to be calling a "joke" and should provide some lame moments between VP candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin will be held tomorrow night at 9p. While I strongly believe that Palin is a poor choice as VP as well as doubt her abilities in a debate, I still recommend watching and seeing what both candidates have to say.

Come to the show!

Autumn? Blah.

Google is celebrating the first day of Autumn today, which can be figured out on their page. I saw a special logo and thought, "Ugh, not the first day of Autumn already?!" I want it to still be summer!

Red Sox vs. Patriots

I noticed that the New England Patriots are playing at the same time as the Boston Red Sox today. As I have been getting into following these teams again, my first reaction was, "Oh no!" but then changed to, "Nice."

I wonder if John Henry and Robert Kraft have a hand at televising these games simultaneously for a nice little rivalry to see which fans pay attention to whom.....
